Ok how bad is the glucose test?
I have heard complaints, but just curious how horrible the glucose test is. I go for mine in around 2 weeks.

Re: Ok how bad is the glucose test?
Just had mine this morning. It was no big deal.
The orange drink is super sweet, but I drank it cold with a straw and it was fine.

Does everyone have to go for it? We are due the same day and my DR. hasn't said anything to me about it....

Re: Ok how bad is the glucose test?
I hate really sweet stuff - but honestly, its very cold, so it doesnt taste too bad - just like a kiddy drink.... I also relished sitting around for an hour reading a people magazine I bought myself....

Re: Ok how bad is the glucose test?
I had to do an early 1 hour test - honestly I don't know why people think it is a big deal - they gave me the stuff at the office to drink - and I was stuck with drinking it warm. They told me I had 5 mins to drink it. They gave me orange - I hate orange soda - but it wasn't bad - it really tastes like orange soda without the fizz - just drink it fast and get it over with. You what to know bad - try drinking the prep for a colonoscopy - NOTHING is as bad as that drink.

I had mine early because of some issues.
They usually do it between 26 and 28 weeks.

Re: Ok how bad is the glucose test?
I had mine recently. The stuff I was given looked like Coke and tasted like it too, though I noticed that it got sweeter as I got closer to finishing! It wasn't bad at all- I preferred it to the RhoGam shot I got in my #&$ later in the visit!
